The Baddest Buckaroos of 2025
Hold onto your hat — the arena’s most electrifying bull riders are tearing the hide off 2025!
1. Jose Vitor Leme
The undisputed king of chaos, Leme roars in at No. 1 in the PBR Unleash the Beast standings with a hefty 1,494 points. He’s the gold‑buckle architect, riding at an insane 59.46% success rate and cashing in $1.93 million in prize money. He’s the kind of cowboy who makes bulls quake and your heart race.
2. Dalton Kasel
Hot on Leme’s heels is Dalton Kasel with 1,426.50 points and a 52.94% ride percentage that proves he’s no rookie. A Texas tough guy, Kasel is laying down a serious challenge, riding cleaner than a whistle and staking a real claim on the title.
3. Brady Fielder
At No. 3, Brady Fielder is the dark-horse dynamo 1,234 points, a deadly 60.87% ride rate and riding finesse that belies his point total. This guy doesn’t just hang on, he owns every breath of that bull. He’s earned a rightful place among the elite.
4. John Crimber
The teenage phenom flying under the radar, Crimber sits in 4th with 950 points and a ride percentage of 51.61%. Dude was world No. 1 for the first nine weeks of the season until a back injury tried to slow him. The kid’s grit is Olympic material and his relentless climb is the stuff of legends in the making.
